Am I really the first person to “like” this article? It’s insightful, connecting me with my own experience with Google Ads, search engine optimization and the big social media networks. I disliked how Facebook and others turned me into advertiser audience while simultaneously nurturing my most compulsive and self-critical tendencies. Just like you I quit those networks a few years ago and feel much happier for it. So: thank you for telling this story. 🙏🏾
Thanks for reading and commenting! I'm glad it resonated with you. If I were to write it today, I think I may update it to include something about the analog movement I see gaining momentum. The faster and more changeable technology becomes, the more people seem to be grasping for tangible things. I just learned, for example, that record players and LPs are coming back in fashion, including among the younger generation (older elementary/early middle school).
That's just one example that warms my heart to see. I'm working on an essay about the broader trend and what I believe it suggests that I'll post over at Sam. Writes. when it's done. :D

Yes. Analog photography has made a resurgence, too. Good luck with your essay!
